California Gov. Jerry Brown to launch satellite to track greenhouse gas emissions

California Gov. Jerry Brown started the week by signing a pair of actions to get his state to use nothing but electric power drawn from green sources like wind and solar by 2045. He ended the week Friday with a surprise: The state would launch its "own damn satellite" to track down greenhouse gas emitters who fuel global warming.

Brown announces California plan to launch satellite to track climate change

News of California's satellite was among an abundance of pomp and pageantry on Friday when some of the week's biggest names took the stage, including musician Dave Matthews, former Secretary of State John Kerry and chimpanzee expert Jane Goodall.

    Go find a story specifically on the issue of celebrity polluters - I don't see why need to mix up that one with the California launching a satellite.

    If you do, make sure it includes some numbers and don't cherry-pick only CA/Hollywood celebs - I see no difference between the CO2 emitted by the jets hired by DiCaprio [telegraph.co.uk] and the ones owned by Trump [wikipedia.org] - except probably the emission amount per unit of distance and per person transported.

        So...

        It wasn't me that organized a celebrity event to announce it, take up your complaint with moonbeam.

          You obviously have an axe to grind, maybe try reddit. No one here cares about the celebrities. We just don't, most of us despise all of them.

    There is a difference. Trump's jets are older, less efficient jets and are much larger than Trump needs to transport himself and his family.
